Synopsis

In a run down bar in the Bronx, two of society's rejects strike up a halting conversation over their beer. Danny is a brooding, self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason; Roberta is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. Danny seems incapable of tender emotion; while Roberta, is distrustful of men in general. And yet, as their initial reserve begins to melt, and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge - the first for both of them.
